German tuner JB
Car Design
presents the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 JB-R which features an engine upgrade
that results in a hike of the V12 engine's power
to 710 bhp along with aerodynamic improvements.
The Murciélago LP640's 12-cylinder engine
now
performs to JB Car Design's "Power Level I" which produces 710 bhp (525 kW)
with the conversion costing
28,000 euros. The
Lamborghini sports car also comes in combination with a revised underbody (to
improve ground effects) that
allows it to reach an impressive final velocity. Not until the sports car has reached 370 km/h
does the
air drag decelerates it. Gears are changed using a F1
steering
wheel
rocker
switch.
With its
significantly
sharpened up version of the Murciélago LP 640 JB Car Design believe that it has
created a sports car that is as close to racing as no other car that comes with MOT approval.
Luxury is also
to be found in the car's interior. The whole
cockpit has been colour adjusted to match the exterior by using high
quality materials in combination with dark red "ultrasuede"
and black smooth leather in bi-colours as well as featuring
finishing components that are made from carbon fibre. In addition
the LP 640 JB-R has a black tinted windshield, back and side windows
at a cost of 2,370 euros which includes German road
approval.
The new LP 640
JB-R conversion features new three part 20-inch Schmidt
Revolution aluminium wheels with hardened outer rim made of stainless steel
while these wheels are shod with Michelin wide base tyres in sizes 265/30-20 and
335/30-20 at the front and rear respectively.
As well as its claimed ability to
sprint on the long straights JB Car Design, which also is noted for tuning
sports cars from Ferrari and Porsche, has also ensured that the LP 640 JB-R
will be fun to drive through the curves. This is the reason why the German company has intensified
the abrasion by using their own highly-distinctive aerodynamic-package
consisting of a new front and rear spoiler, rear diffuser, air
intake at the front, large new side coverings and side skirts, as well as the front
luggage compartment opening cover and the engine
cover. Meanwhile JB Car Design has also followed another current automotive fashion with its
new Murciélago conversion: the built in, premium flap controlled
sport exhaust system offers the best sound at the push of a button. With the
provided remote control the customer can change the sound of
the exhaust pipes while driving.
